Mediterranean restaurant ★4.0 (235)·US$10–20

50 Spring St, New York, NY 10012, USA

4.0
The service was very friendly, especially since it was my first time trying cava. It had a similar vibe to Chipotle, and you could add various toppings to your bowl. The selection of toppings was okay, but I enjoyed my bowl nonetheless. The only downside is that there are only four seats available near the window, and the tables are never really cleaned… - Rebecca

CAVA Introduce

Introduction / Overview

In the ever-evolving culinary landscape of New York City, CAVA has quickly become a household name, especially for those seeking a quick, healthy, and flavorful meal.

It's a place that demystifies healthy eating, making it accessible, delicious, and, most importantly, completely customizable.

Often compared to the well-known Chipotle-style model, CAVA empowers its customers to become their own chefs. The process is simple and intuitive: you build your perfect meal from the ground up, choosing from a wide array of bases, proteins, dips, and toppings. This personalized approach not only caters to every palate but also accommodates various dietary needs, including healthy options, vegan options, and vegetarian options. From their signature Crazy Feta® dip to their spicy harissa-flavored proteins, CAVA offers a unique blend of flavors that makes every bowl or pita an exciting new creation. It's this combination of quality ingredients, speed, and customization that has made CAVA a go-to spot for New Yorkers on the go.

What is Worth Choosing

When you visit CAVA, the sheer number of options can feel overwhelming, but a few standout choices are a great place to start. The beauty of CAVA is that you're in control, but these recommendations will help guide you toward a fantastic meal.

First, the base of your bowl is crucial. The Greens + Grains Bowl is a popular choice for a reason, offering the best of both worlds with a mix of fresh greens and hearty grains like saffron basmati rice or black lentils. This combination provides a filling yet fresh foundation for your meal.

Next, the proteins are where you can truly dial in your flavor profile. The Spicy Lamb + Avocado bowl, with its spicy lamb meatballs and creamy avocado, is a fan favorite for a reason. The Steak + Harissa option is also an excellent choice for a robust and savory experience. For those who prefer a meat-free meal, the Crispy Falafel is a fantastic, flavorful choice that adds a great texture to any bowl or pita.

The dips are the secret to CAVA's success. You simply cannot leave without trying the Crazy Feta®. This creamy, spicy dip is a signature item and elevates any dish. Pair it with the equally delicious traditional hummus or red pepper hummus for a perfect combination. Don't forget to ask for a side of the Hot Harissa Pita Chips for dipping—they're a perfect crunchy, savory side.

Finally, make sure to try one of their refreshing house-made beverages. The Cucumber Mint Lime and Strawberry Citrus juices are perfect complements to the savory flavors of the food. CAVA's commitment to quality, from the fresh ingredients to the customizable format, makes it a reliable and delicious option for any meal, whether you’re a regular or a first-timer.
